1p finds at Tesco thread

November2

I believe the staff were sacked because they took advantage of the misprice and didn't rectify it which is what they should've done. Old discontinued stuff is different as it just gets skipped.

First post, so be gentle!

Found a few packs of Soft grip clothes pegs, on clipstrip next to clothes airers. Barcode ending 1027 scan at 3p. Some have stickered barcode ending in 41 and these scan at £2.29.

Thanks, found some today with both bar codes, made sure the correct one scanned on self scan!

There was also some ECover detergent/fabric softener - think it was the detergent but can't quite remember, and it just had a * on the label...

An asterisk on the label indicates to the staff (Stock Controllers, Price Integrity, etc), that the product is set to discontinued, i.e. no further stock of that line will arrive into that particular store.

Note, just because a product is discontinued in one store, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's discontinued in other stores.

Not so sure about that? Take the Pantene Brunette expressions for example. It was on a * and going through at 27p? months ago. Then it went back to normal price. Is still stocked and restocked in my extra at normal price with an* in the corner. Could be just that they have an enormous stock out back but I think there is more to the * than meets the eye. AS you have "previous" however I would bow to your better knowledge:):)

Yeah, they would've been disciplined - and in this case dismissed - for misconduct.:(

Asterisk definately means that it's a discontinued line. HOWEVER, if the store decides that that line was a popular seller, the store can override the system (as set by some plonker in HQ) and set the item back up so that more stock continues to come in. If that happens, a new label will be printed, as the system at store level will think that a new line has been introduced into store (which, of course, it hasn't). The new label should then go out on display, so that Stock Control can scan the label daily (providing that there's no matching stock on the shelf), thus telling the system that the store requires stock (known internally as Gap Scan). In most instances, no one bothers to replace the old asterisk label with the new one because most staff think "Who cares?" "It's the same price anyway". :mad:

And ergo the answer. Trust me - 5 (long, arduous and painful) years in Crapsco 2 of them as a Compliance Manager.
